Exporting data

[Mark O'Hara]

Simple question. How do you export data collected. Whatever I try doesn't work, whether it's bluetooth, thumbdrive, wifi connection and even the micro SD card (which is useless considering you need tweezers).
Also, what do you guys use? As a newbie to this instrument and the language it uses (I'm guessing it must be linux based which I am not familiar with, so probably why it's limited with data exchange.

99.9% of the time I export to Google Drive. For the other 00.1%, I use a USB.

Same here . Google drive seems to do the trick. I have heard of others having issues with using a cloud drive, but once I have had my setup it has worked just fine for going on 7 years now.

I use a USB thumb drive. It's not as convenient as having a real-time connection, but I didn't want to give up the credentials to my Google Drive or mess with the setup of something else.

One thing to watch out for when using a thumb drive is to make sure you're saving files to a partition your PC can see. That used to trip me up -- I'd export the files, but then couldn't see them when the thumb drive was plugged into the PC.
